What’s coming soon to FilmStruck UK in June 2018?

FilmStruck UK continues to celebrate its expansive, diverse archive of cinematic classics in June, rather than flood us with new additions. The result is a intriguing month that mixes modern gems from the 90s with a quartet of 1980s films from Japanese director Juzo Itami and an insight into Soviet cinema with a selection of essentials that range from Solaris to Battleship Potemkin.

Here’s what’s coming soon to FilmStruck UK in June 2018:

White Heat – 1st June

James Cagney is on fire in this film noir that sees a psychopathic criminal with a mother complex make a daring break from prison and lead his old gang in a heist.

Lone Star – 1st June

This stirring epic ranks as one of indie filmmaker John Sayles’ finest works. With old-fashioned craftsmanship, it’s not a move you’ll quickly forget.

Woodstock: 3 Days of Peace & Music (Director’s Cut) – 1st June

This icon, landmark documentary covers the three-day 1969 festival that symbolised the musical, social and political ideology of the era.

Grand Hotel – 1st June

Winner of Best Picture at the 1932 Oscars, this adaptation of Vicki Baum’s novel about the lavish titular hotel in Berlin epitomises big screen glamour.

The Ballad of Cable Hogue – 1st June

After the violence of The Wild Bunch Sam Peckinpah found a new angle for his next film, a gentle comedic tribute to the death of the Old West. Left for dead in the desert, Cable Hogue finds a fresh spring which saves his life. He builds a profitable stagecoach way-station, but is undone by the advent of the automobile.
